Closing In

Not to worry, we have not come to this yet! This is a shot taken in February this year. Given the fact that the sun doesn't bother getting up too early during winter here in Norway, I didn't have to get up there before 8 in the morning. I think this was around 8:30ish. If my memory serves me correctly, it was a Wednesday and I was the only human up there. The silence was overwhelming. At minus 25 most Norwegians have put on long sleeves. I can throw in a form that shows our view on temperatures dropping from 0°C / 32°F and down. 0°C / 32°F Distilled water freezes.
